! WARNING
THIS DOCUMENT IS INTENDED FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SCAFFOLD
ENGINEERS. USE BY UNQUALIFIED PERSONS MAY RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
LOADING INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS BASED UPON THE
LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS. THE TOTAL
LOADS (COMPONENT WEIGHT, PLANK WEIGHT, LIVE LOAD, MATERIAL LOAD,
WIND LOAD, ETC.) TO BE IMPOSED ON THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY MUST BE
CONSIDERED. ALL LOADS ON INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS ARE TRANSMITTED TO
OTHER COMPONENTS AND ULTIMATELY TO THE GROUND. COMPENSATION FOR
THESE CUMULATIVE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL LOADS MUST BE PROVIDED
FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL SCAFFOLD APPLICATION.

! WARNING
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT FROM YOUR FAILURE TO FAMILIARIZE
YOURSELF, AND COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OF
PROVINCIAL REGULATIONS BEFORE ERECTING, USING OR DISMANTLING THIS
SCAFFOLD.

! WARNING
FALL ARREST EQUIPMENT ATTACHED TO SCAFFOLD MAY NOT PREVENT
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF A FALL OCCURS.

Hollow Core (Tubular) Swivel Screw Jack

The Swivel Jack (SSJ) must be anchored to the sloped
surface or restrained. Anchors, bolts or restraints must
resist four times the Shear Force determined from the chart.
Anchor hole size and locations are noted on page 13.

Vertical Load (P)

Example: A scaffold standard supports a load of

12.5 kN (2810 lb) on a 20 slope. A corresponding
4.5 kN (1011 lb) Shear Force must be resisted
as indicated by dotted lines and arrows.

Ledgers with an effective width of 2.13 m and 3.05 m are

not designed to support fully decked scaffold platforms or
center concentrated loads. Use ledgers or truss ledgers
whenever a full deck is required. Platforms may rest on
ledgers with an effective width of 2.13 m and 3.05 m if the
platform area is located close to standards. However, they
may not exceed dimension h and the allowable load table
shown above.
Note: Dimension h is based on two 2" x 10" lumber
scaffold planks. If wider platforms are required, contact
ThyssenKrupp Safway Engineering.

Note: Angles shown are determined for 241 mm (9") wide LVL planks.
Planking Chart for 241 mm (9") Planks (page 66) illustrated the plank/ledger recommended gap when a load bearing member is
perpendicular to a platform run. This gap diminishes when the load bearer member intersects the platform at an angle. Refer to the chart
above to determine the maximum load bearer/platform angle for 2, 3 and 4 plank wide platforms. Also, see example below.
